Great Omnibus Doodle
Case at Chicago.
A Compromise Verdict, Which Lets
Four Of the Defendants Off
with a ST., 900 Fine.
The Closing Hours Of MemOrable
Trial-What the Convicted
ROgues Say.
ICHICAGO TELEGRAM.

The apparently interminable trial of the
Cook County Commissioners, charged
with conspiracy to rob this county, came
TO an end on Friday with verdict which
hardly meets popular expectations. Ley
den, Ochs. Van Pelt, Wasserman, Varnell,
Wren and McClaughry are sentenced to
State . prison for term Of two years each,
and Casselman, Cells, Mccarthy and
Oliver are each mulcted in fine of 81 900.
So completely convinced have the public
been of the guilt of these conspirators
that probably nothing less than a prison
sentence for every man Of them would
have been accepted as satisfying the
public sense of justice and ade-
quately indicating the enormity of their
offense. The vigor and earnestness which
have characterized the prosecution of this
ring and the satisfactory verdict obtained
in the cases of McGarigle and Mcdonald
had led the people of this county to look
for nothing less than the transfer Of every
one of them to the Joliet Penitentiary.
The verdict which allows four of them,
who in the public mind were not less guilty
than the rest, to escape that fate, does not
give full satisfaction. 1t is sufficient, how
ever, to show that the law and the courts

GANG.
was at st. GATHERINGS, Canada. There is
no likelihood Of securing his extradition.
Detective Mooney, in lengthy inter-
view. tells about his connection with the
Doodle cases. He says McGarigle's escape
was due to too much parsimony in the man
agement of the case, and that the same is
true of the acceptance of Clark as q Juror,
these being the two big blunders Of the
whole business.
Press Comments on the Verdict
From the Inter ocean,
But if the verdict is not satisfactory the
great trial has ended in a way to accom-
plish desired results. The power of the
gang has been broken. Those who have
not been tried and convicted have been
compelled to loosen their grip. It has
been demonstrated that bribery and cor.
ruption are punishable offenses, and that
the most powerful Of rings can be broken.
Year after year the people clamored for
war on the boodlers. Mr.. Grinnell opened
the battle in earnest, and with the ready
support given him he has won.
From the Timesl
Several other indictments against the
same parties are on the calendar OF the
Criminal Court, SO that it is still In the
power of the public prosecutor and the
courts To infiict upon these recreant officials
q degree of punishment more nearly com-
mensurate with their numerous gross Of
fenses against law, morals and public
policy.

An Ancient Mexican Village.

One of the most interesting places in
Mexico is the old town of ZintzuntziD,
only twenty miles from Morelia by the
main highway. In its palDy days, four
or five centuries AGO, it was the seat OF
ROYALTY. where was held the court OF the
ancient Kings of Michoacan; but now it
is poor Indian village, its palaces de-
s.roved and its streets deserted. Its few
royertv-stricken inhabitants cling with
remarkable pertinacity to the customs
of their ancestors, and are refreshingiy
ignorant of the doings of the world, for
to them the whole universe is bounded
by the nearby circle OF hills. Some ex-
tensive ruins in the outskirts OF the
town-consisting chiefly of curiousiy-
carved pillars and blocks of dressed
stone-are the remains of the fayorite
residence of Calzonzi, the last monarch
of Michoacan. In all the fields here
abouts great blocks ofporphyery may be
found, having strange h;eroglyphical
figures wrought upon them. The In
dians heap them up in the hedges, and
many squalid hu. has its adobe walls
cked out by remarkable stones, whose
queer carvings Of frogs, fcatheEed ser
pents CT crocodiles were traced with pa
tient art by hands that have been dust
perhaps 1000 years. In this portion OF
Michoacan many mounds exist which
are supposed to be the debris of ancient
palaces over which the sands of time
have drifted to depth of several feet
Doubtless if excavations were made
many of them would bo found to con-
tain valuable antiquities. but the dull
inhabitants take no manner OF interest
in the relics of . forgotten past. In
modern Zintzuntzin great deal of pot
terry is made, as quaint in shape and de-
vice as that of ancient Egypt Accord

Stories of Gen. George a. Sheridan.
the stump speaker and lecturer, who is
generally paraded as ''of Louisiana," are
often to be heard in places where public
men gather He is said to have once de
clared the axiom that the one thing
which stump orator does not need to
burden himself with is facts. 1t is the
Generals idea that facile speaker can
create all the facts he wants rs he goes
along in his speech. In illustration Of
his meaning he told story of an occur
renee when he was out on q tour with
Gen. Garfield. He had made an asser-
ton with reference to the tariff which
seemed to him to need some bolstering,
and he said that his statement had been
based on decision OF the highest court
of the State of New York. He was
about to pass on. when a young man in
the audience interrupted him and begged
permission to asl, where this decision
could be found. The General ''was up
a stump" and as o fight for time in the
hope that Garfield might help him out
he asked the inquirer, Are you law
yer?" the stranger replied in the at-
firlnative Il thought so." said Sheri-
dan. "You lool, like 4 lawyer. and like
u smart and Intelligent one a. that You
have doubtless read The decision yourself
many times" BY this time it became
apparent to Sheridan that Garfield was
enjoying his discontinue and tina. he
must get Gu. OF the scrape the best no
could. l: flashed across his mind that
there was report in New York known
rs Denio's. and he said: The report Is
in 9th Denio. page so and so." The
young lawyer warered minute and
lhen sat down, saying meekly, "Ah,
yes, DO remember now having read it
myself" Sheridan says that he had
curiosity years afterward to look up the
particular page to which he referred the
inquisitivc young fellow. and found that
it was the middle of a report of q case
involving questions of idiocy.-h =

Making Her Things Last.

Every housekeeper knows how care
full treatment keeps tabie-linen and
household furniture Girls do not al
WAYS know or remember that great care
of their own little possessions will often
enable them to dress nicely on very lit
sic money. a lady says: When l was
a girl there was one of my young friends
who was distinguished for making her
things last. Her dress, hats, gloves,
and ribbons we're 4 marvel of durability.
I used to wonder how she managed to
make them last SO without their looking
shabby. but l ceased to do SO after /
had visited her at her own home. The
reason why her clothes wore so long
was she took such good care of them.
Her dresses were brushed and folded
away carefully. and the slightest spot
on them Eas removed as soon as it Was
discovered. Her hat was wrapped in
an old pocket-handkerchief, and put
away in box rs soon rs done with, the
Strings and laces being strai ghtencd
and rolled cut most symmetricaily eacn
time. Her gloves were never folded to-
getiser, but were pulled out straight and
laid fat in 4 box. one upon the other,
each time they were used. the tiniest
hole being mended almost before it had
time TO show itself But the thing that
impressed me most was the care she be-
slowed on her ribbons. When making
up bows she used 10 line the upper part
of the ribbon with white paper, and
this not only prevented the ribbon from
becoming limp aud creased but kept it
c1ean So that when the bow WAS SOiled
on one side she could turn the ribbon.
and the part that had been covered
came out looking new and fresh. That
girl married and brought Up large
family. Her husband had 10 fight his
way, and did SO brayelv, and was un-
usually successful, for he became
wealthy. But his prosperity was due
quite as much to his wife's care and
economy in saving money as it was to
his in making it."-Good Cheer.
